So Sorry to hear about Robs passing. I worked with him at Vernon Hills High School and we had such nice conversations. He actually put up a hoop for my grandson a couple of years ago and he loves it. Prayers to all of his family

So sorry to hear about Robs passing. Every time I saw him he had a smile on his face. Always made time to talk no matter where I ran into him. Our whole family has wonderful memories of him, especially our Indian Princess experiences.

Rob was such an amazing, loving person and was so proud of his family! I have so many great memories of him - his laugh and smile. He always remembered my birthday as it was 1 day before mine - still have my musical birthday hat he brought me one year riding over on his scooter! Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Sending lots of love!

I can't imagine having better friends than Rob and Eileen when our kids were growing up together in Libertyville. So many fun times. Rob was always so fun and funny, and touched so many lives. I remember when Rob put up a basketball hoop in Michael Jordan's house. I think that makes him a celebrity. I also remember when he got the wagon for the Michels' yard. Sending hugs to all of the Michel family.

Enjoyed the game with you old friend !<br />
